I was at Borota's debut against the scousers very hairy in the Shed that day it was absolutely packed. Me and my mate got crushed to fuck only 13 at the time.

Yes it was scary for young kids, but a rite of passage as a fledgling. -cant imagine anything like that now being allowed to exist. The Shed was mental in the 60s and 70s. Scarves round wrists, cherry red DMs everywhere First time I was 9 years old and remember getting lifted and carried by a crush halfway down the terracing.

Yeah remember my first silk scarf that i had Eddie McCreadies blue and white army tied round the wrist. It's hard to equate the Shed and Stamford Bridge of then and now, different times but definitely different fans now.

Too right Iggy. The whole experience is totally different, the irony and humour gone, replaced with po faced sense of entitlement. I blame it on the scousers and Heysel -a watershed moment of football allowing Thatcher and the Taylor Report to sanitise the whole fucking thing and sell its soul to TV.

The Rocastle era about the same time....

Still, away games are still fun

Bang on my son bang on.
